Not a Mac user at all, but still curious: wouldn't you have to 
disable that check on a development machine? Every executable 
coming out of your build tools is going to miss a signature.

And if - as the grapewine has it - notarization requires an Apple 
ID with two factor authentication enabled, I don't think that any 
developer is going to want automatic signing for iterative builds 
during their normal work cycle.

So, although signed release builds would be great, is it really 
that much of a showstopper as far as D is concerned?
